sounds interesting, never had tried it but on some quick testing it seems to work. This will make sphere show the real skill value by default, but it doesn't disable the "show real" button, which now are useless because the real values will be the same as the adjusted values

on sphere source I also found this quick info about how BONUS_STATS and BONUS_[STR/DEX/INT] works on skills. So I presume sphere have some basic support for this feature

Quote:m_SkillStat is used to figure out how much
of the total bonus comes from the stats
so if it's 80, then 20% (100% - 80%) comes from
the stat (str,int,dex) bonuses

example:

These are the cchar's stats:
m_Skill[x] = 50.0
m_Stat[str] = 50, m_Stat[int] = 30, m_Stat[dex] = 20

these are the skill "defs":
m_SkillStat = 80
m_StatBonus[str] = 50
m_StatBonus[int] = 50
m_StatBonus[dex] = 0

Pure bonus is:
50% of str (25) + 50% of int (15) = 40

Percent of pure bonus to apply to raw skill is
20% = 100% - m_SkillStat = 100 - 80

adjusted bonus is: 8 (40 * 0.2)

so the effective skill is 50 (the raw) + 8 (the bonus)
which is 58 in total.
